The problem ot aerial ua\ iga'tion or not we are not prepaied to say, but ot this one thing we are certain, two of the angtls (which we und:rtaid were real live girls) remained in mid air without even a flutter on their outspread wings for a space of at least 50 seconds. After the distribution of the presents to the children and others a sack of candies was handed to every man, woman and child in the building, aud this was the climax to another of Pine's tree entertainments. ' Mr. Geo. Walker returned from. -- j*t ���d business visit' to Skagwav . O"1 Saturday last and records a very trying experience ��11 his return trip He reached Golden Gate DAWSON NOTES. It is not generally known that there are on a fair estimate about 1,400 tons of freight on the various scows stranded and scattered along the Yukon between Dawson and Fort Selkirk. Counterfeit $10 and $20 bills have made their appearance in Dawson. without any unusual difficulty, bdt i -. from there on his troubles com- 1 * - menced." Leaving there on Monday morning with a four-dog sled, he was able to make nearly tei miles adown Taku Lake, breakiif" trail as" he went. The snow getting deeper as he proceeded, he . had ��� to ,- leave sled and belongings behind and, mike h;s way 'on foot as ,best he could, for Taku r City, reaching v a position from which he could see the lights late ^011 Tuesday , evening "Here" he called ont to the people on shore for instructions, the locality around the mouth of the river' be- iing"'dangerous, a fact which was .pretty soon proved by Mr. .Walker 'going through souse up to'the armpits. Howe\ery by'good luck and grit he struggled ,out on to the ice again and backed round the fii*-t point where-he made a landing,; 'built a fire, and dried .himself as. best he could, his clothes being frozen, stiff as boards from the immersion. After a , decidedly uncomfortable night he made his way���dogs and all. tothe liver, with the intention of fording it and thus vgetting to Taku City, but on reaching the stream he found it was too much tc negotiate and turned his face towards Atlin Lake, where he had left his boat on the trip outwards. The snow averaged three feet in depth and it took Mr. Walker and his dogs two days tot reach the place. Man t and animals were now three days without having eaten a particle of food. Here he unexpectedly run across Mr. J, Williams, of the post-office department, who had come o\ er to look up the delayed mail and whose boatman had failed to make the arranged connections. Mr. Williams had camped out as best he could all night and had no provisions either, although he had kept a fire burning all night long for a beacon, ,uo assistance had come. Finding Mr. Walker's boat frozen immovably ih the ice they concluded to try again for Taku City, first camping all night, and the trail being already some- o.ien wa\er.

Two short years was liatching was well known to the British Cabinet at _ the time of the Jamieson raid, and the complicity, of the German Emperor was- so glaring that the cabinet strictly repressed the inforruation. iu their possession, as the publication of, it iu England would have raised-such a storm of indignation that an-ini'me- diate war with Germany uoidd, i i . have been the certain result. Ihe Emperor, finding that Russia and France,, which r.bo had their fingers In the - plot., would not back him up' when it came" to- force of wiselv concluded la eat hum-' a��o was celebrated the beloved arms�� ble pie,, which he' did. Lit view ot these circumstances, it will be wise Queen's Jubilee with a pomp and "pageant unparalleled. The occasion* was made one to impress" upon the nations of the earth the magnificence of Britain's strength and glory. A fleet, the like, of, which the world has never seen, was reviewed at Spithead, ��� military reviews were held at'which not only British troops proper, but eontin- ' gents from all her globe-encircling > colonies and possessions took part, a\ hilst an envious world stared and wondered at such palpable evidences of prosperity, power and wealth. Never in-all recorded time did a ' nation make such a brave display, nnd who can blame them if the 'people were carried away by their "exuberance and felt and' expressed themselves ready-to meet a world in arms if need be? But oh!! the bitter irony *��� of Fate! Wrtriiri tw�� -years that proudest of nations is the scene of woe and lamentation.. Her invincible armies repeatedly defeated, her bravest and besf.'the* flower of her manhood,'occupying graves on the lonely veldt or suffering inglorious durance in Boer prisons;, thousands of homes made desolate by the death, maiming or captivity ' of the loved 'ones, fathers, brothers, sons, gone down in-the red- sea "of slaughter," and all this by an enemy so numerically small that* Itis conquest was at one time deemed only a side issue, as it were. " The battle flag of Great Britain, covering" upwards of 400~tnillions of subjects, retreating, beaten and' pursued, with all its deathless victories enrolled ou it, before a flag covering less than ��� a quarter of a million of people! It seems like some hideous' nightmare. One of the bitterest consequences" of defeat which the British nation has to bear is the rejoicing all over Europe at their disasters." Tine critics of the veuemous French press, in particular, fairly yelp and yowl with delirious joy at every reverse to the soldiers' whom they were afraid to meet themselves; they are running up a frightful account which France will yet have to expiate with blood. Great Britain's- strong right arm, the navy, is stilL intact, and every man in it would like nothing better than to be let loose on their hereditary enemy.

A CANADIAN MINT. j i t i- " The semi-official information f r 1 comes from London tha't the' question of establishing a Canadian ' mint has been duly considered in financi/d circles- there, savs the.*New ' Denver Ledge, witn the result .that . the men ,who know, or profess to ". know, all about the coinage of gold and Other metals are decidedly o">- ,, posed to the propositfon. "It is but natural for the finaucieis , to < take a this view of the question '-quite its t ,. natural as it is for thein to oppose the double * standard of {gold and silver; or any other monetarv" re- -S , - Aform that would nieati a loss to , them' of any -of the great power ' they-'now wield' overv the" world. The ' establishing? of a Canadian mint aud the coining of * Canadian ��� ,gold and silver into Canadian coin of the legal standard, would in a very large, measure, release Canada v from the t:ght grip -of*; the world's "financiers, and eventually relieve it ' of the awful burden of'its ever ac i n "cumulating national debt. Canada's, resources are so/immense it. ��r makes the" Bominion"~a* "very sub-" stantial debtor" "colony, and any movement .that would tend to a broader policy, or a more indepen- t - dent financial policy, is sure to meet / with opposition from the" men ' who /profit 'by "the Dominion's'present , condition and policy."' _ ��� _��� "* - - 1 r n Many reasons are given by .these wise financiers why 'a. Canadian , " mint should not be.established, but j none of theni are any moTe logical' ���-*'J T^.A- than this: "The go\eriment of Canada makes a handsome profit on the coinage of silver--a profit that would disappear if f it coined its own money. The four quarters in a Canadian dollar are actually- worth only 41 cents in gold; that is, the government makes a clear profit of 59 cents on every dollar's i \ worth of silver coined and placed in circulation in the Dominion." If Canada "can make a clear profit of 59" cents on every dollar's worth of silver coined why is there such a scarcity of silver coin throughout the Dominion? Eew business concerns would reduce their stocks if they could 'make a profit of 59 cents on every dollars' worth - carried. If Canada 4 can make this "profit now, when the coinage of the metal must be paid for, together with the express and messenger and insurance charges from the old country, why would this profit disappear if it coined its own money out of its own gold and silver? If such a profit is made by , . the Dominion where does it go, who gets it, and why aie these pro- ' " '- fits so restricted? The fact is Canada does not make this profit on its silver coin. The mother country makes .some of it. Canada orders so many dollars' worth of silver coined. It gets it THR ALASKA FLVER and pays for it at. about 70 cents on the dollar.
